I think what cracks me up is this Eric Conn dude is probably a keyboard warrior working a desk job or something. I highly doubt he’s out busting his ass herding cattle and building fences then making some self righteous post on xitter.

Yes, generalizations are usually bad, and there are exceptions to literally any group. Doesn’t mean it’s a myth. The term wouldn’t exist if it was a myth, and wouldn’t be so widely used if there wasn’t a large amount of truth attached to it. I’m also not discrediting the issues we have with corpo bullshit. Thats obviously it’s own issue, but I will point out that part of the reason corp interests are in our politics at all is again because of the same group voting in the ability for lobbying by those corps.
It’s not a myth. If it wasn’t so disgustingly true across the board I’d be in agreement. Class war over generational and all that, but I’ll also call out the systems and people that are actively (STILL) shitting all over progress. Their generation is at fault in large part to why we’re so utterly fucked and continue to be (see Reagan). The majority of our gov is run by geriatric fucks that refuse to align with their constituents and cling on to their positions until they’re literally in wheel chairs. Those are fucking boomers. They’re in charge still, and they’re the ones holding the reins on voting in any iota of progress in any number of categories, one being minimum wage. Fuck them.
Jesus what a shit parent. Sorry you had to deal with that. Hope you’re better now and don’t have that toxicity in your life
Bosht@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Warns Trump Admin If They ‘Lay a Finger’ on Members of Congress ‘We Are Going To Have a Problem’English196·5 days agoHooray for more posturing! Really nice that this current administration has shown without a doubt that our entire system is full of spineless garbage that really will do nothing to balance power, which is literally why those branches of government exist. Yes AOC is a firecracker and more verbal than most. Yes, she drives change and is a speaker for a the people. But without any backup from the entirety of our gov, she’s just a megaphone yelling into a void.
Fucking Amen dude. Recently saw a clip about the ‘F.U.R.R.I.E.S.’ act. Jesus Christ Texas gov is a disgrace. Hoping this is the beginning of shit turning around.

Bosht@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is it about residential solar energy that attracts so many scams and fly-by-night operators?English5·13 days agoIt’s ‘the newest hot’ aka the thing most people know is a good thing, but know nothing beyond the basics. Sets up for people to easily rip you off, install sub-par products, perform shitty installation, overcharge with shitty interest rate loans, etc.
Bosht@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Report finds more than a third of CA households are struggling to make ends meetEnglish3·16 days agoYes, no fucking shit. This is known. Until something is done it’d be great not to be constantly reminded. This shit needs to be brought to action by our gov and elected officials, which won’t happen with the current shit administration.

Bosht@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Insists Clearly Edited Pic of Abrego Garcia's Tats is Real in Testy InterviewEnglish68·18 days agoIf you guys didn’t watch the interview it’s (to no one’s surprise) fucking embarrassing. Terry keeps trying to move on while remaining firm and Trump just sits there being an argumentative shit because Terry refuses to budge. Good on him for keeping his journalistic integrity, and another pile of dicks to Donnie boi to suck.
Bosht@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Democrats reintroduce Equality Act as Trump escalates war on LGBTQ+ communityEnglish121·19 days agoOh fuck off and actually do something meaningful, FUCK. Sick of the posturing shit. Need to kick these geriatrics out and get some actual citizens that give a shit in these positions.

Bosht@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•'He's just tapping me along' — Trump admits Putin may not be interested in ending war on UkraineEnglish181·23 days agoNo shit. Putin, and the rest of the world, have no respect for him. Nobody considers him a threat. Plus we all know Putin has shit on Trump anyway so that’s twice the reason not to give a shit about anything Trump wants to try.
